Yes and Clegg was Live on BBC1 this morning
but this MP was not talked about

[Kizzy]

I think he was referring to the people of Jerusalem not the Jewish faith.
It was an unfortunate comparison though...

[Livia]

Frankly, I don't want to give this man credence by addressing his comment. Especially not today.

[the truth]

hes entitled to give his opinions on this matter. Theres a lot Jeiwsh people who agree with him too

A lot of Jewish people who agree that the Jews learned nothing from the Holocaust? You think there are many Jews around who would agree with that?

If he'd stuck to the supposed point of what he was struggling to say without the Holocaust comment then maybe he would have had more Jews agree. But because of this comment his opinion means nothing to me because he's marked himself out as a tactless idiot.

he didnt say that. and yes there are jewish people who agree with some of what he did say. your reaction to him saying something you didnt aree with is for you in name to verbaly abuse and name call him, which makes you hypocritical

I find his comments just before Holocaust Memorial Day deeply offensive. The family of every Jew I know - and that's probably a few more than you - was affected in some way by the Holocaust. If he wants to talk about the Israeli/Palestinian issue then he should do that and not muddy the waters with ridiculous remarks.

My reaction is my reaction. Please don't call me hypocritical for my opinion. If you do, I will be forced to give you my opinion of you and then the thread gets locked.

I think his timing was totally wrong as to such a statement anyway,highly insensitive, I think his comments also contain much of ignorance and near stupidity.
I agree with arista that Clegg needs to sort him and his party out and I also totally agree with Livia.
